I was in a real bind. In about six hours, they were going to be driving off with almost everything I owned. If I didn’t tip them, I had no idea if items might get broken or might be “lost” in the move. I ended up tipping $400 and some items were broken and they also lost several boxes.
Did this happen to anyone else? How much did they demand?

Now, I would write up a review in every media I could think of (naming and posting their company) documenting and photographing what happened. Until they begged you to take it down. What you are describing is extortion! If broken stuff was valuable, sue them. I know people who would be picketing outside their office with signs. Don’t, let them get away with it!
